What it’s like
The place. Furlong is a town in Bucks County, in southeastern Pennsylvania. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and home values are high. Incomes are higher than in many parts of the country, and only a small share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with snow and frozen mornings, and summers are warm, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in professional and business services. Manufacturing and shops also employ people here. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and a fair number work from home, while many others face a fairly long drive to work. Jobs across the county grew slightly over the last year, and unemployment has eased.
Things to do. Philadelphia is a drive away, and it offers a wide range of places to visit. The Barnes Foundation and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are both museums, each a longer drive away. Independence Hall, one of the best known sites in the country, is also a longer drive away, and Citizens Bank Park, a stadium, is a longer drive away as well.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Bucks County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Bucks County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
